To port, or not to port?
Hi,
This is my first post. I think it depends on the kind of port. I have had my port since Dec. 21, 2006, and have had NO problems at all with it. It is a Bard brand port with metal inner and outer access. My brother in law had a total plastic port and had to have it replaced 3 times. Good luck to your wife. I also had a 6 cm tumor HER2 +, with right axillary lymph node involvement. After having all my chemo up front, I had to only have a lumpectomy (tumor shrunk to undetectable) and a lymph node dissection. My pathology report came back Cancer free. I am now on Herceptin until next April. Praise God. I am having some problems with the Herceptin, just started to have allergic reactions, so that is why I joined this site.
If your wife's PET scan showed no lymph node involvement, then I would not worry about it. Did she have a breast MRI? That also would show it.
